Barrel #12799 was chosen by La Cata in a blind tasting of several Rey Sol extra añejo barrels. This French oak barrel was brand new, with a medium toast when it arrived at Casa San Matias in approximately 2006. It was used once, to age Orgullo añejo for approximately 18 months, before it was filled with Rey Sol and aged for nine years. The barrel was located at the very top of a stack, resulting in a higher than average “angel’s share” (loss of tequila to the barrel) – so only 91 bottles of tequila remained.
